This is the first game in the '''''Capcom Generation''''' series. It was followed by [[Capcom Generation: Dai 2 Shuu Makai to Kishi]], [[Capcom Generation: Dai 3 Shuu Koko ni Rekishi Hajimaru]], [[Capcom Generation: Dai 4 Shuu Kokou no Eiyuu]], and [[Capcom Generation: Dai 5 Shuu Kakutouka-tachi]]. The Sega Saturn versions of these games were exclusively released in Japan, but the PlayStation versions of the first four games were released in a bundle titled '''''Capcom Generations''''' in Europe (except for the German version, which doesn't include the fourth game). The PlayStation version of the fifth game was released internationally as '''''Street Fighter Collection 2''''', being marketed as a sequel to '''''[[Street Fighter Collection]]''''' (which '''was''' released on the Sega Saturn internationally).

==Gameplay==

===''1942''===
 +
''1942'' is a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up, originally released in 1984, and the first game in the ''194X'' series. It is set in the Pacific Theater of World War II and loosely based on the Battle of Midway. The game was designed to appeal to Western audiences, so despite being created by Japanese developers, the player commands an American P-38 Lightning, dubbed the "Super Ace," and must destroy the Japanese air fleet. The player must shoot down enemy planes and avoid enemy fire through 32 stages, which take place primarily over the Pacific Ocean and islands and end by landing on an aircraft carrier. There is a two-player mode where players take turns.
 +
 
 +
The Super Ace moves in any direction using the D-Pad. It shoots with {{A}} or {{C}}, which can be held for continuous fire, or it shoots faster with {{L}} or {{R}}. The plane's weapon can be upgraded once to fire a wider shot, and the player can obtain two smaller escort fighters that supplement its fire with their own. The plane can perform an evasive maneuver with {{B}} that causes it quickly loop out of the playfield, which can be used to avoid enemy fire or to fly over enemy planes. This can only be done a maximum of three times per stage.
 +
 
 +
The plane is downed if it takes a single hit from enemy fire or collides with another aircraft, which costs a life. The plane respawns at a checkpoint without any acquired power-ups. Extends are given at 20,000 and 80,000 points, then every 80,000 points after that. The game ends if the player runs out of lives. In addition to the high score, the game also keeps track of the ratio of enemy fighters shot down.
 +
 
 +
There are four difficulty levels, and the player can change the points thresholds for earning extra lives or toggle continues. Since the original game uses a vertical aspect ratio, there are three screen modes: Type 1 interpolates the image to fit into the height of the Saturn's video mode, Type 2 (the default) crops the playfield to fit the screen, and Type 3 preserves the vertical aspect ratio (but requires the player to rotate the monitor).

Gameplay

1942

1942 is a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up, originally released in 1984, and the first game in the 194X series. It is set in the Pacific Theater of World War II and loosely based on the Battle of Midway. The game was designed to appeal to Western audiences, so despite being created by Japanese developers, the player commands an American P-38 Lightning, dubbed the "Super Ace," and must destroy the Japanese air fleet. The player must shoot down enemy planes and avoid enemy fire through 32 stages, which take place primarily over the Pacific Ocean and islands and end by landing on an aircraft carrier. There is a two-player mode where players take turns.

The Super Ace moves in any direction using the D-Pad. It shoots with A or C, which can be held for continuous fire, or it shoots faster with L or R. The plane's weapon can be upgraded once to fire a wider shot, and the player can obtain two smaller escort fighters that supplement its fire with their own. The plane can perform an evasive maneuver with B that causes it quickly loop out of the playfield, which can be used to avoid enemy fire or to fly over enemy planes. This can only be done a maximum of three times per stage.

The plane is downed if it takes a single hit from enemy fire or collides with another aircraft, which costs a life. The plane respawns at a checkpoint without any acquired power-ups. Extends are given at 20,000 and 80,000 points, then every 80,000 points after that. The game ends if the player runs out of lives. In addition to the high score, the game also keeps track of the ratio of enemy fighters shot down.

There are four difficulty levels, and the player can change the points thresholds for earning extra lives or toggle continues. Since the original game uses a vertical aspect ratio, there are three screen modes: Type 1 interpolates the image to fit into the height of the Saturn's video mode, Type 2 (the default) crops the playfield to fit the screen, and Type 3 preserves the vertical aspect ratio (but requires the player to rotate the monitor).
